Abstract
The North Raccoon River, with a drainage area of approximately 2,200 square miles, originates near Leverett Iowa in northern Buena Vista county and flows southeasterly for approximately 175 miles to its confluence with the South Raccoon River near Van Meter, Iowa. The combined rivers form the Raccoon River which discharges into the Des Moines River at Des Moines, Iowa. Although the Raccoon carries an extremely heavy silt load and fluctuates violently, it is an excellent fishing stream for channel catfish with many stretches producing fine smallmouth bass and walleye fishing.
